Final Pinedale Roundup online Screenshot of the final online edition of the Pinedale Roundup, August 6, 2025.

News Media Corp, the parent company of the Pinedale Roundup and many other newspapers, abruptly notified employees of eight of their Wyoming newspapers on Wednesday, August 6th, that they were closing the company and terminating employees permanently as of August 6th. The company cited financial challenges, decreased revenue, increased expenses, and the recent failure to sell the company as some of the reasons for closing the company. They said in their termination letter to employees the shuttering was in no way a reflection of the employees’ performance or dedication to the company. The Thursday, August 7, 2025 edition of the Pinedale Roundup won’t go to press.

The Pinedale Roundup has been in publication since 1904. News Media Corp, based out of Rochelle, Illinois, also owns and operates more than 150 publications in Arizona, Illinois, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wyoming.

By Cali O'Hare, Pinedale Roundup Managing Editor, cohare@pinedaleroundup.com

Dear friends, neighbors and subscribers,
We are heartbroken to bring you one final piece of news. After 121 years serving Sublette County, the Pinedale Roundup — along with all of its sister papers — were notified this morning, August 6, that our parent company, News Media Corporation, is closing its doors permanently, effective today. This means the doors to all of our community papers across Wyoming have closed permanently. All of our employees at the Roundup and at our sister papers have lost their jobs, effective today and without notice.Tomorrow's Pinedale Roundup will not be sent to the press, although it was built and ready for newsstands. The July 31, 2025, Pinedale Roundup is the last edition of the Roundup to be printed.

Our hearts are broken for our colleagues and our communities. We all deserved better than this, and we wish we could have said a proper goodbye.

- Cali O'Hare, Managing Editor of the Pinedale Roundup (July 2022-August 2025).
